Hello, J.V.A. here, this is the newest chapter for you've read the title so I don't have to explain. This chapter is really short because I decided to post this early since I have finals to study for, so that means that I can't be typing up documents. Anyway enjoy the story.

"Mister Campione, it has been three days since you have gotten back, would you please refrain from discharging your weapon in the middle of another person's sparring match, again," Glynda said in an irritated tone after Blaise accidentally pulled the trigger on his cutlasses while examining them.

"Yeah yeah. Don't discharge your weapon. This is a classroom, not a firing range. Please don't shoot other students because they were giving you a bad look. I got it," Blaise said as he emptied the sword's clip then put it back on his makeshift desk in the arena stands and continued drawing the schematics for the sword along with Ruby helping him.

"Alright, continue the match," Glynda said then the two students continued to spar down in the arena.

"These designs are impressive," Ruby said as she picked up the other sword and examined it.

"Yeah, it was designed by my family," Blaise said then Ruby looked at him for a second, "Before I got these they belonged to Joseph Kidman, and before they were his, they were my brother's."

"You have a brother?" she asked slightly surprised at his remark.

"Yeah, I have two. One of them is dead and," Blaise said then his expression turned into a look of disgust, "and the other turned into kind of a dick."

"So do you ever meet with your other brother?"

"On occasion, he and i kinda are not at the best terms with each other," Blaise explained not really lying since he should visit Sedric once a week. "So anyway, did the parts come in for the broadswords yet?"

"Oh yeah," Runby said then smiled, "They arrived this morning. I should be able to start working on the broadswords after school."

"Alright, and since I have nothing else to do. May I join you?" Blaise asked not even looking up from his schematics.

"Sure, it would be nice to have some company in the workshop," Ruby said looking back at the cutlasses trying to figure out what kind of metal they were made out of. Meanwhile as they were making their plans for meeting up at the Beacon workshop they didn't seem to notice Yang sitting behind them with a blank look turning several shades lighter as she was occasionally getting poked by Weiss with a pencil.

"Where are you going?" Lapis asked Blaise as he grabbed his aviator trench coat and pulled it on wincing slightly from the jacket hitting his sore wounds.

"I am going to the workshop to meet with Ruby so we can work on my broadswords," Blaise explained then opened up the door, "It's probably going to take a while, so don't wait up for me." Then then walked out the door and left.

"Does he even realize how much that sentence can be taken the wrong way?" Lapis asked Zaria and Eva who were both listening to music so they didn't hear his question.

After managing to make it to the lobby Blaise walked into the main building and to the elevator to go to the underground workshop. After entering he believed that he had finally gone one trip outside of his dorm without having to join in some random conversation. Just as the doors closed and he breathed a sigh of relief a hand shot into the elevator doors opening them back up. As the doors fully opened Blaise saw who had interrupted his peace and quiet, Yang Xiao Long.

"Hello Blaise, nice to see ya," Yang greeted him as she walked into the elevator and selected the workshop floor.

"Hey Yang. Do your gauntlets not work?" Blaise asked her as he leaned into the corner.

"No, they work just fine," she said then her bracelets turned into her gauntlets, "I'm just going to the workshop to go to the testing area to practice."

"Ok, well Ruby and I are going to be fixing my broadswords today," he said then noticed Yang's eyes flicker red for a split second, so he leaned further into his corner.

"I know," she said then the elevator dinged and she walked out followed by Blaise. After a bit of walking Yang went to the right towards the training area and Blaise turned left to the workshop rooms.

Going down the hallway Blaise passed several workshop rooms that were reserved for different teams. Passing the second years' rooms he made it to the first years area and after a minute of searching he found team RWBY's workshop room.

Opening the door Blaise was greeted by blaring music and Ruby sharpening her scythe's blade on a grinder. She didn't even notice Blaise at first because she was too absorbed in the scythe to even look up. After she was content with the sharpness she stopped the grinder and turned down the music. She then pulled out a screwdriver and was about to get back to work on the scythe's rifle counterpart until she looked up and saw Blaise standing in the doorway holding his hands over his ears.

"Hi Blaise," she said as Blaise walked into the room.

"Hey Ruby," Blaise said then sat down on a nearby chair. "So, what's the progress on the swords?"

"Oh, they're almost done," she replied nonchalantly as she munched on a cookie she seemed to pull from nowhere.

"Eh-wa?" Blaise asked nearly falling out of his chair. "You just got the parts today. How can you almost be done already?"

"I took the swords apart the day you left for your mission, found all the broken parts, ordered their replacements, then replaced them. I was going to finish putting it together, but then I thought you might want to make some modifications, so I didn't," she responded as she turned around and picked up Blaise's half completed broadsword mechanism.

"Well, what kind of modifications would you have in mind?" Blaise asked finally sitting comfortably in his chair.

"Well…" she said as she walked over to a stack of blueprints nearly as tall as her. Blaise knew at that moment that his friday night was now sacrificed to the little reaper.

"Alright, alright," Blaise said rubbing his temples, "So we've decided that the broadswords will be able to detach and the handle move so I can have more flexibility during combat. We're not giving the broadswords a gun counterpart because the recoil would rip my arms off. No, we will not add a dust catalyst to the blades because it is too unstable. Did I miss anything?"

"You also didn't like my idea of having the blades split apart and putting in a motor so it can act like a sawblade," Ruby pouted as she stuffed another blueprint into the garbage can.

"Why did you come up with this many plans for my weapon when you could be making plans for your own scythe?" Blaise asked as he almost pulled off his sunglasses to rub his eyes, but he decided not to at the last second. "You could add another barrel or something in the back of the blade to increase the intensity of your swing, or you could do some adjustments so the end of the snath so there is a dagger or something so you could use that for up close encounters."

Ruby didn't even say anything, her eyes lit up and she smiled, then she started to draw blueprints at breakneck speed trying to implement Blaise's ideas for her scythe, but as soon as she would finish a blueprint she would crumple it up and throw it away. Blaise sat and enjoyed the entertaining sight for a bit until Ruby stopped suddenly and looked up at Blaise for a second embarrassed.

"Sorry," she apologized, "Today we're working on your broadswords, not my scythe. When I get an idea for a weapon I like to write it down."

"So I've seen."

"Anyway, the adjustments shouldn't be too hard," Ruby said then walked over to a cabinet, opened a drawer labeled 'possibly useful' and pulled out several mechanisms, "All I have to do is insert these pieces into the broadswords' wrist holders and it should allow for the broadswords to eject off."

"I take it you've already planned this out and built up the adjustments for each of your little plans," Blaise said waiting for an answer only for Ruby to get a little bit more embarrassed. "Yep, and you probably only waited for me to allow you to adjust them. Am I correct?"

"Yeah," she mumbled.

"Ok, and how long should this tak-"

"Done!" Ruby exclaimed as she held up the finshed wrist holder mechanism, then she pulled Blaise's broadswords and attached them onto the wrist holder, then they disassembled themselves into their more compact form.

"Holy crap Ruby," Blaise said as he picked them up and slipped one under his sleeve. "It's just like new."

"And now nobody will be able to rip them off your arm again," she replied.

Blaise opened the blade to it's regular form and closely inspected it. Pressing a button on the handle he activated the detachment system that threw the sword straight up and it knocked off his hat. Before Ruby could see his ears he quickly pulled out his winter cap and slid it on his head.

"Are you alright?" Ruby asked him as she walked over to see if he was injured, "Why are you wearing a hat anyway?"

"It's cold," Blaise explained.

"But it's 85 degrees."

"I like to wear it."

"Then why were you wearing another hat?"

"Because I like to wear layers."

"On your head?" she was quiet for a couple moments until she jumped up and looked like she solved the case. "You burned your hair on the mission and now you have a bald spot, so you cover it up with a hat."

"What? No!" Blaise said defending himself.

"Then show me the proof."

"No!"

"Why else would you hide your hair if it wasn't a bald spot?"

"Because… god damn it," Blaise said running out of excuses. "I have reasons. Ok."

"I mean the only reason someone would hide their hair if they had a bald spot or if they were a… oh," Ruby said realizing what was happening.

"Yeah," Blaise said then sat down on the chair, "People really don't like my kind."

"Well I don't hate faunus," she said then sat down on her chair, "Growing up on Patch the people had to learn to deal with each other to survive against the grimm on the island. Some of my best friends were faunus, so I really don't care whether your faunus or not."

"Alright, thanks," Blaise said then stood up pulled the broadsword out of the ceiling and collapsed it back into his sleeves.

"I can see why you would hide your heritage," they heard a voice say at the door. Turning to see who had listened into their conversation they saw Yang wearing Blaise's grey fedora. "But a fedora is not the way to go. You could wear a hood all the time to look cool and mysterious."

"Yang!" Ruby shouted embarrassed by her sister.

"Jeez Ruby, I was just coming by to check on you two."

"Ugh," Blaise groaned as he sunk further into his chair placing his hand over his face. This was going to be a long day.

Alright, now Ruby and Yang know he's a faunus. I won't have them both talk about him being a faunus because they know that faunus face a rather large amount of prejudice.

Blaise now has the broadswords back and they can detach do it looks ridiculous, even by final fantasy standards.

The next chapter will be a time skip to Jaundice because I don't feel like having team BLZE going on another mission.

Anyway, I hope you liked this story so far. Now get off fanfiction and study for your finals, trust me, it's for your benefit.
